<em>svd</em>computes the singular value decomposition of &lt;matrix&gt;. 
<P>
<P>
It returns 
<P>
<P>
{U,P,V} 
<P>
<P>
where A = U*P*V^T 
<P>
<P>
and P = diag(sigma(1) ... sigma(n)). 
<P>
<P>
sigma(i) for i= 1 ... n are the singular values of 
&lt;matrix&gt;. 
<P>
<P>
n is the column dimension of &lt;matrix&gt;. 
<P>
<P>
The singular values of &lt;matrix&gt; are the non-negative square roots 
of the eigenvalues of A^T*A. 
<P>
<P>
U and V are such that U*U^T = V*V^T = V^T*V = Id. 
Id is the identity matrix.
